Condo Comparison, June 2017
Overall estimates for residential appreciation in the Boston market over the last year is in the range of 11% and Zillow is conservatively predicting around 5% for the next year. Is this growth sustainable? Who knows? What we do know is that the market is cyclical and that what goes up spirals around to a seemingly higher low than the last. Take a look at the graphs below.

Condo Comparison May 2017
“BOSTON – The number of homes and condos sold in Greater Boston slipped a bit in April,” said Timothy Warren, CEO of The Warren Group. “But that is due to the fact that April last year was a gangbuster month with homes rocketing up 35.3 percent and condos gaining 18.7%. These benchmarks were too hard to match.”
Despite record-setting condo prices, sales dipped from April 2016 when there were 1,705 sold in April 2017 compared to 1,724 last year – a decline of 1.1 percent. Median condo prices rose by 3.4 percent, hitting $331,500 – the highest on record for April. Warren Report, May 23, 2017.

Condo Comparison, Feb 2017
Hard to believe that we’re nearing the end the 1st quarter with lower inventories than ever before. Being an optimist and given the current numbers there is only one way from here and that’s up. Looking forward to a crazy spring market with a few surprises as the market slowly shifts.
JP vs Roslindale
Look who’s #1 in Jamaica Plain
We are so very excited to announce that we came in as the #1 real estate office in JP for 2016 in both sales volume and number of sides. A major accomplishment for having opened the office in October of 2013, just three years ago. Congratulations to all.
The news is timely. We are just getting started in building out an adjacent office space where we are adding an additional conference room, team room and additional work areas for associates and team members to use. We’ll keep you posted on plans for our upcoming expansion party.
